The effect of silicone tube stenting on the outcome of total and subtotal replacement of the bile duct with autologous vein was investigated in experiments performed in pigs. All but one of the unstented animals developed dense strictures of the extrahepatic ductal system. This complication was abolished by the use of silicone stents passed transhepatically. The vein autografts in the stented animals underwent progressive shortening with elongation of the distal common bile duct so that beyond four months only one suture line was encountered, and no recognisable venous element was detectable on histological examination. Apart from minor dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary tree encountered in some animals, all the surviving stented animals progressed well and had normal serial liver function tests.

Recalcitrant biofilm infections pose a great challenge to human health. Micro- and nanorobots have been used to eliminate biofilm infections in hard-to-reach regions inside the body. However, applying antibiofilm robots under physiological conditions is limited by the conflicting demands of accessibility and driving force.

Purpose: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is an extremely deadly cancer with high recurrence incidence, particularly in patients with lymph node metastasis (LNM). The necessity of lymphadenectomy including lymph node biology (LNB) and dissection (LND) during ICC radical surgery remains debate.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the patients diagnosed with ICC and underwent radical surgery at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2012 to 2023.

In recent years, assessing dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity has become crucial for cancer patients undergoing 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy due to the life-threatening toxicity associated with reduced DPD function. The methods for evaluating DPD activity have evolved, with the analysis of DPYD polymorphisms in blood samples becoming the preferred approach. As the indications for liver transplantation are increasing-particularly due to a rise in cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and non-resectable colorectal liver metastasis-more cancer patients with a history of liver transplantation may experience disease relapse.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a malignant tumor, is typically challenging to detect early and often results in a poor prognosis. In recent years, research interest has grown in the potential application of immunotherapy for CCA treatment. T cells, as a crucial component of the immune system, play a significant role in immune surveillance and therapy for cholangiocarcinoma.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are a prevalent subtype of pancreatic cystic lesions, especially among individuals with liver cirrhosis. Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) differ in histopathology based on the location and cellular variability in each location. Intrahepatic IPNBs are less aggressive than the extrahepatic variant, highlighting its heterogeneity and complexity.
